To stain Wood.

Various methods have been devised for
treating the surface of certain woods so
as to produce the most perfect limitations
possible of rosewood, walnut, etc, but
some Of the most attractive work in this
line IS affected by simply spreading on
the surface of the material concentrated
solution of hypermangate Of potassa.
this beng allowed to act until the de-
sired shade is obtained. Five minutes
suffices ordinarily to give deep color
a few trials indicating the proper pro-
portions. The hypermangate Of potash
is decomposed BY the vegetable flbres
with the precipitation of brown peroxide
OF manganese, which the influence of the
potassa, at the same time set free, fixes
in durable manner on the fibres. When
the action is terminated the wood is care.
fully washed with water. dried, and then
oiled and polished in the usual manner.
The effect produced by this process is
really remarkable. On the cherry, es-
pecially. it developes a beautiful red
color which resists well the action Of air
and light. ss

A Paralytic Cured BY j Pistol Shot.

Aremarkable case in which a woman
lost speech was suddenly restored, has
occurred at q small town in Ritchie
county, w. Va, about twenty miles from
Parkersburg. Ten y ars ago Mrs. Ada
Martin fractured one of her limbs so
severely as to cause permanent paralysis
of it and deprive her of her power Of
speech. During the period Of her Attic
ton she has been making crazy quilts
and endeavoring to obtain patches from
prominent men. Presidents Hays, Gar
field and Arthur sent her patches. Many
Senators, army Hers and other nota,
bles have favored her. A short time ago
she received patch from President
Cleveland, with his compliments auto
graph. ally expressed. Her pleasure at
the event was so great that she jnmped
up suddenly. and in doing SO knocked q
revolver to the floor, causing it to be dis
charged. The ball entered herparaly ed
limb. The shock removed the paralytic
effects and restored her speech. LIVER
since the occurrence she has had the use
Of her tongue, which for ten years had
been slienced. The physicians say that
she will have the use of her limb as soon
as the bullet wound is healed. * Battimers

Preventins swine Plague.


DR.. Detners of the Ohio University. d
gentleman we'll known from hissinSestl.
cations with the microscope, and especial
" in swine fever, In a late address upon
this subject, held, and correctly, that
once hogs are attacked but little can be
done to save them. Only at the begin
ming. lor before extensive morbid chanyes
are produced, is it feasible to treat
them. If the infection has taken place
through the digestive canal it may be
worth while to try an emetic Of now
dered white heliebore. From two to
6ftcen grains, according to the age and
size of the hog, would be about the
dose It may be given iii boiled
potato, or ON the surface of little milk.
If neither the one nor the other is volun-
tarily taken, the hog is far gone aud may
be given up as bad case. If one d sc
should not cause the animal to vomit. in
saw twenty minutes, another one may be
given in about half an hour This treat
ment may be followed by few doses of
calomel, also to be given with q boiled
potato. OF other mediciLes tried, he
says:
II have had the best success with car
bolic &cid, and have obtained good re-
sults-that is, prevention of a plain
outbreak of the disease by giving once
day from eight to ten drops Of 50
per cent. solution of carbolic acid for
every 100 pounds Of live weight in the
water for drinking. Iodine in wafery
solution--ten grams Of iodine and twelve
grains Of iodide of potassium to one
ounce Of water-and that given in small
doses, has also proved to be very effec-
tive, but the damage done to the pig by
this iodine treatment becomes very soon
apparent. Hypophosphate Of soda has
also been tried, and has given favorable
results. It may be given in doses sutii-
GENTLY large to loosen the bowels, and
be dissolved in the water for drinking.
THE most obvious physiological effect
of carbolic acid upon hog is reduction
of the temperature. Whethtr it is this
or some other property that retards or in
terferes with the propagation of the
swine plague germs | am not prepared to
decide, and to discuss theories would
lead too far and be Of little use. Itmay
therefore suffice to state that the results
of such treatment have on the whole,
been favorable. If, however, the organ
ism is already pervaded by the disease
germs, or if important morbid changes
are existing, nothing whatever can be ex-.
pected of the carbolic acid treatment,
because the propagation has already taken
place, and the acid, most assuredly, can
not repair the existing morbid changes.
Neither can any other medicine. For
disinfecting purposes we have, however,
cheaper substances than carbolic acid;
for instance, chloride Of lime and one
per mile solution of corrosive subj
mate.n
DR.. Salmon, Chief Of the Animal Blu
reau Of the Unite States, says that for
sdlsinfesting, corrosive sublimate, one to
$4,000 parts. will kill the bacteria of
swine-plague. The solution not used for
drinking should be freely sprinkled over
the lot, yard, or pens in which the swine
are kept. Sulphuric i'd. one to 1000
parts, Is also recommended.
